Just to let you know we finished our concept design for Elon Musk's Hyperloop. All the models are SketchUp. The line drawing overlays are done with SketchUp. Photographic renders created in KeyShot. It will be formally released tomorrow, so you all get a sneak preview. I'll put the book link up tomorrow when we go live.

Here's a sample:

Hyperloop Coach Cabin with underwater Tripscene display:

Terminal Level three of Capsule Jukebox:

Business Work Capsule with ground based Tripscene:

Hyperloop Terminal:

Executive Meeting Capsule:

The project was a fun one...on and off for a couple months. SketchUp is just so fast at creating these sorts of models. Thanks to ALL the plugin authors-- couldn't have done it without you!!

Interviewed with Discovery and CNBC today so I suspect they will be going forward with something too. Nice to see the response from the press-- I have to say none of this could've been accomplished without SketchUp's ability to handle massive instances for objects, like seats, capsules, rails, etc..
